Routine Crash: Moment of truth

This month is flying ........................ its Christmas eve
The past two week has been extremely busy, tiring and stressful. The truth is that i don't need to climb the scale before telling myself the truth that i have been stress eating. Yes I have, last week I baked like no mans business, name it cookies, mince pies, shortbread, puff puff ......... .Normally, when i bake i don't eat it but last week was very much different. Here's what happened, the fateful day i baked mince pie i ended up consuming 4, yes 4 whole mince pie.

Moment of truth, the scale doesn't lie as i have added, am back to 72 kg from 71.6 kg. My body keeps telling me i should stop but I have not gotten to my goal which is to get to either 63/60 kg
and until i get there, I WON'T STOP.

Am not beating myself about the gain, the truth is that i have done sooooo well that i can pat myself in the back for a job well done. Am not perfect but human, a lot of my friends on weight loss journey over worry themselves when their routine go bad but the truth is that everyday won't always be perfect or good for you. Face it, the purpose of keeping a journal is to improve on your eating habit. Criticizing or wallowing in self hatred or pity for eating too much isn't really going to help. The only thing that will help is realizing you ate too much and plan on making better choices.

It can be disappointing climbing the scale and you found out the numbers went up, a lot of people break down and properly go on water fasting just to lose the added weight. But for how long will you do that, my weight loss journey is a life time thing not a quickie. An increase in scale doesn't really move me at this point, the fact that it took me 2 solid years to lose 68 kg means that i can do anything. Lets say i have 10 kg more to lose and it MUST come off but am not going to starve to reach my goal.

Am not making excuses for gaining last week but am not gonna get stuck, am moving on. Weight loss is gradual, the earlier you realize that the better for you. Of cause there are fast weight loss for occasions like weddings and parties, some people want to lose 5 to 10 pounds for such occasions but mine is a life time commitment.The quick and fast weight always come back but i don't intend to lose all these weight and put it all back.

If time allows i will be updating more
